The Black Turban Snail is a small snail that lives where waves pound the shore all day. It hangs on with its strong foot and doesn’t get washed away.

Like land snails, this snail has its mouth in its foot. As it slides along, it scrapes bits of algae into its mouth. It is prey to sea otters, crabs and sea stars. If you see a Turban Snail shell moving along in a funny way, it might be a fiddler crab instead, wearing an empty Turban shell for protection.
